缓慢干旱下春小麦叶片质膜脂肪酸组成、H~+-ATPase肥及5′-AMPase活力的变化

研究了田间缓慢干旱胁迫下,抗旱性不同的两个小麦(Triticum aestivum)品种的生长状况、质膜极性脂脂肪酸组成以及质膜关键酶活力的变化。在小麦生长发育的早期,干旱胁迫使其叶片质膜极性脂脂肪酸不饱和度下降、质膜微囊消耗O_2的速率升高、膜蛋白含量降低、H~+-ATPase(EC 3.6.1.35)活力下降、5′-AMPase(EC 3.1.3.5)活力大幅度升高;在小麦发育的后期,随着干旱的持续,小麦叶片质膜的极性脂脂肪酸不饱和度不变或升高、质膜微囊消耗O_2的速率降低、膜蛋白含量与H~+-ATPase活力升高、5′-AMPase活力下降。以上结果表明,小麦在发育的早期阶段对干旱较敏感,其细胞质膜流动性降低、细胞中能荷贮备降低;而在后期,则又表现出对干旱的适应。这些结果将有助于阐明自然干旱条件下植物的抗旱机制。     

缓慢干旱下春小麦叶片质膜脂肪酸组成、H+-ATPase及5′-AMPase活力的变化

 研究了田间缓慢干旱胁迫下,抗旱性不同的两个小麦(Triticum aestivum)品种的生长状况、质膜极性脂脂肪酸组成以及质膜关键酶活力的变化。在小麦生长发育的早期,干旱胁迫使其叶片质膜极性脂脂肪酸不饱和度下降、质膜微囊消耗O2的速率升高、膜蛋白含量降低、H+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.35)活力下降、5'-AMPase (EC 3.1.3.5)活力大幅度升高;在小麦发育的后期,随着干旱的持续,小麦叶片质膜的极性脂脂肪酸不饱和度不变或升高、质膜微囊消耗O2的速率降低、膜蛋白含量与H+-ATPase活力升高、5'-AMPase活力下降。以上结果表明,小麦在发育的早期阶段对干旱较敏感,其细胞质膜流动性降低、细胞中能荷贮备降低;而在后期,则又表现出对干旱的适应。这些结果将有助于阐明自然干旱条件下植物的抗旱机制。     

外源海藻糖对小麦幼苗耐盐性的影响

以盐敏感小麦品种鲁麦15为材料,分别用完全Hoagland营养液、150mmol／L NaCl和150mmol／L NaCl 10mmol／L海藻糖处理小麦幼苗,测定小麦幼苗生长、离子含量、根系质膜H^ -ATPase、SOD活性、MDA含量等指标,旨在探讨外源海藻糖在抗盐性中的作用。结果表明：外源海藻糖可明显缓解盐胁迫对小麦幼苗生长的抑制作用;明显提高NaCl胁迫条件下小麦幼苗叶片中K^ 的含量,降低Na^ 的含量,降低其Na^ ／K^ ;提高NaCl胁迫条件下小麦幼苗SOD活性,降低MDA的含量,降低细胞质膜透性,缓解根系质膜H^ -ATPase活性抑制。以上结果表叫外源海藻糖可能通过增加活性氧清除能力、缓解质膜伤害、维持胞质离子稳态提高植物抗盐性。     

不同抗盐性小麦叶鞘的Na+/K+选择性

以200mmol／LNaCl处理耐盐小麦（Triticum aestivum L．）品种DK961和盐敏感小麦品种LM153d后,DK961叶鞘中Na^＋含量和叶片中K^＋含量均显著高于LMl5,这造成DK961叶片中Na^＋／K^＋比显著低于LM15。即DK961的叶鞘以其较LM15更强的限制Na^＋、推动K^＋向叶片运输的能力来保持叶片相对较低的Na^＋／K^＋比,即叶鞘在小麦抗盐性中可能起重要作用。     

Na+和Ca2+对拟南芥根原生质体质膜内向K+通道电流的影响

以拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana Columbia)根为材料,利用膜片钳技术测定其根细胞原生质体质膜内向K^ 电流,并对Na^ 对其K^ 电流的影响进行了初步研究,发现Na^2 可明显抑制拟南芥根细胞原生质体的内向K^ 电流,外施Ca^2 可缓解Na^ 对内向K^ 电流的抑制．说明Ca^2 参与了质膜上K^ 通道对K^ ／Na^ 的选择性吸收的调节,从而使植物适应盐胁迫．     

盐胁迫下水稻叶绿体中Na+、Cl-积累导致叶片净光合速率下降

研究了0-200mmol/L的NaCl胁迫下耐盐性不同的水稻品种Pokkali(耐盐）和Peta(盐敏感）根系,叶片和叶绿体中Na^ ,K^ 和Cl^-含量的变化及其与叶片光合作用的关系。结果表明：随着NaCl胁迫时间和浓度的增加,供试2个品种在根,叶片和叶绿体中Na^ ,Cl^－含量增加,K^ 含量下降。耐盐品种体内Na^ ,Cl^－含量增加或K^ 含量减少的幅度小于盐敏感品种。在200mmol/L的NaCl胁迫下盐敏感品种根,叶片和叶绿体中的Na^ /K^ 分别是耐盐品种的208％,308％和297％。与Na^ 相比,耐盐品种根系对K^ 吸收和向叶片运输的选择性（SK,Na)较强。但在经过0,100和200mmol/L的NaCl处理后2个品种叶绿体中的Na^ /K^ 均高于叶片（SK,Na均小于1）。盐胁迫下水稻叶绿体中Na^ ,Cl^-含量和Na^ /K^ 与叶片净光合速度呈极显著负相关。     

土壤盐碱胁迫对春小麦K^＋、Na^＋选择性吸收的影响

通过对2种浓度土壤盐分胁迫下春小麦各品种不同时期各器官K^ 、Na^ 含量以及K^ /Na^ 的变化及其与抗盐性的关系研究,结果表明,随土壤盐浓度的升高,各品种的产量及各农艺性状值均有所下降,但不同品种的下降程度不同。随土壤盐浓度的升高,植株中K^ 、Na^ 含量均有所增加,但K^ 增加的幅度小于Na^ 的增加幅度,因而K^ /Na^ 呈明显下降趋势;在不同土壤盐分胁迫下,小麦品种K^ 、Na^ 随生育进程在体内各器官的分配发生动态变化,在分蘖期地上部K^ /Na^ ＞根部,孕穗期各器官K^ /Na^ 依次为：幼穗＞旗叶＞茎＞倒4叶,而灌浆期则依次为：籽粒＞旗叶＞茎＞倒4叶,说明生长旺盛的器官拒Na^ 能力强于其它器官;不同品种的K^ 、Na^ 含量及K^ /Na^ 不同,一般抗盐性强的品种在各时期均具有较高的K^ /Na^ ,反之则K^ /Na^ 较低;小麦的籽粒产量在一定范围内与其植株地上部各器官的K^ /Na^ 中一定的正相关,其中与分蘖期植株地上部的K^ /Na^ 及叶（K^ /Na^ ）／根（K^ /Na^ ）呈极显著正相关,而与此时期的SNa^ K^ 相关性最强,γ为－0．9670。因而,以分蘖期的K^ /Na^ 尤其是SNa^ K^ 作为小麦田间抗盐性的指标,具有一定的可靠性。     

6-苄氨基嘌呤(BA)和脱落酸(ABA)对湖南稷子Na+、K+选择性和游离脯氨酸分配的调节

以盆栽的C4植物-湖南稷子(Echinochloa frumentacea)为材料,用6-苄氨基嘌呤(BA)和脱落酸(ABA)定位涂抹湖南稷子的穗、上位和下位叶片,分析了植物体激素平衡的局部改变对整株水平上Na^ 、K^ 和游离脯氨酸分配的调节。实验结果表明,ABA和具有细胞分裂素活性的BA是调控Na^ 、K^ 及游离脯氨酸在不同层位叶中分配的重要因素。ABA涂抹湖南稷子的上位叶片,上位叶片中的Na^ 比其下位叶片高35．0％;用ABA涂抹湖南稷子的下位叶片,下位叶片中的K^ 比其上位叶片高31．4％,下位叶鞘中的K^ 比其上位叶鞘高53．7％。用BA涂抹湖南稷子的下位叶片,下位叶片中的K^ 和脯氨酸分别比其上位叶片高16．5％和31．7％;用BA或ABA定位涂抹植物地上不同部位,引起植物整株水平上Na^ 、K^ 向光合作用强的部位,特别是向活跃期的穗中选择性运输的能力增强,游离脯氨酸也多集中于代谢旺盛的光合器官和生殖器官。     

甘氨酸甜菜碱增强青菜抗盐的作用

通过对青菜（Brassica chinensis L.)叶面喷施甜菜碱,发现其易于为叶片所吸收并运至其他部位,一定浓度范围内的甜菜碱可明显增强青菜对盐胁迫的抗性,甜菜碱可显降低盐胁迫下叶和根中Na^ 的累积,这种降低主要是根系对Na^ ,K^ 的选择性吸收能力增强所致,盐胁迫下甜菜碱导致根系质膜H^ -ATPase活性提高了45.1%,据此推测甜菜碱降低植株中Na^ 累积很可能部分由于促进根系质膜的主动排Na^ 过程,另外,甜菜碱对抗盐性的增强还体现有对叶片质膜和叶绿素的稳定作用和对脯氨酸合成的促进。     

钾、钠离子对富钾植物离体叶片气孔运动的影响

富钾植物空心莲子草[Alternanthera philaxeroides(Mart．)Griseb．]、商陆(Phytolacca esculenta Van Houtt．)离体叶片下表皮在光照下经不同浓度K^ 、Na^ 处理30min,观察K^ 、Na^ 对气孔运动的影响。结果表明：Na^ 能促进富钾植物叶片的气孔开放,当外界K^ 、Na^ 浓度在1．00％范围内,Na^ 增大气孔开放率和气孔开度比相应浓度K^ 的效果好;当浓度高于1．00％时,效果恰好相反。     

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.     

A Unique Protease Cleavage Site Predicted in the Spike Protein of the Novel Pneumonia Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Potentially Related to Viral Transmissibility

正Dear Editor,In December 2019, a novel human coronavirus caused an epidemic of severe pneumonia(Coronavirus Disease 2019,COVID-19) in Wuhan, Hubei, China(Wu et al. 2020; Zhu et al. 2020). So far, this virus has spread to all areas of China and even to other countries. The epidemic has caused 67,102 confirmed infections with 1526 fatal cases     

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.

传染性法氏囊病(Infection bursal disease, IBD)是由鸡传染性法氏囊病毒(Infectious bursal disease virus, IBDV)引起的鸡和火鸡的一种高度接触性传染病,给世界各国的禽养殖业带来了巨大损失.自IBDV发现至今新的变异株不断出现,分子结构的改变导致病毒致病力的改变及宿主对疫苗应答的改变,使得传统的疫苗已不能控制其流行,因此各国学者对其基因组结构和功能进行了广泛深入的研究,并积极研制新型有效的疫苗以达到防治的目的.     

Development of a Novel Reverse Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Method for Rapid Detection of SARS-CoV-2

In conclusion, the novel visual RT-LAMP assay is a simple, rapid, and sensitive approach for detection of SARS-CoV-2, and it is ready for application in primary care and community hospitals or health care centers, and even patients' own houses in response to the current SARS-CoV-2 epidemic because the assay does not require sophisticated equipment and skilled personnel. Furthermore, it is also ready to be used in fields for screening samples from wild animals and environments to facilitate the identification of potential intermediate hosts that mediate the cross-species transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from bats to humans.     

Perinatal Vertical Transmission of Chikungunya Virus in Ruili,a Town on the Border between China and Myanmar

正Dear Editor,Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), an arbovirus in the family of Togaviridae, genus Alphavirus, is transmitted by the A.aegyptii or A. albopictus mosquito, and causes disease in humans characterized by fever, rash, and arthralgia (Silva and Dermody 2017; Suhrbier 2019). It was first reported in 1953 in Tanzania, and caused only a few outbreaks and sporadic cases in Africa and Asia in last century. However, in the epidemic in 2004, CHIKV acquired mutations that conferred enhanced transmission by the A. albopictus mosquito(Schuffenecker et al. 2006). Since then, it has successively caused outbreaks in Africa, the Indian Ocean, South East Asia, the South America, and Europe (Zeller et al. 2016).
